Delectable Stuffed Onion Recipe
Print RecipeIngredients
- 6 big onions
- 75 grams of butter
- 2 tablespoons of rapeseed oil
- 8 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
- 250 grams of dried figs, chopped into small cubes
- 2 small eating apples
- 250 grams of fresh breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons of fresh sage leaves, chopped
- 750 grams of ground beef
- 3 tablespoons of parsley, chopped
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Sea salt and black pepper
- Grated cheese
Instructions
- First, heat the butter and rapeseed oil until the butter has melted, and add the shallots. Fry them gently until they are well softened but not browned. Stir in the garlic and season well with sea salt and black pepper. Remove the mixture pan from the heat and place the ingredients in a bowl; leave them to cool.
- Peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into small cubes. Next, mix the figs, apples, breadcrumbs, sage, meat and parsley with the shallots and season with sea salt and black pepper. Mix in the beaten egg until the mixture is quite firm.
- To prepare the onions for stuffing, peel the outer layers and chop the bottom off so the surface is flat; the onion should be able to stand. Chop the onion about a third of the way down; this will be used as the ‘hat’.
- Hollow the bottom half of the onion and place the stuffing inside. Top with cheese. Replace the ‘hat’ and brush the onion with melted butter before standing them on a baking tray. Place in the oven until the filling is cooked thoroughly and golden brown onions.
- Place any remaining stuffing into an ovenproof dish and cook alongside the turkey in the oven.
